Allegro To Become Rental Apartments

Allegro

We just got word from a number of readers that the Allegro condominium development will become rental apartments. Allegro condo purchasers were recently sent letters from the developer informing them of the news and providing assurance that their deposits will be returned as a result of the conversion to rentals.

The reason cited for converting the condos to apartments was the downturn in the housing market and the credit crunch. Condo purchasers were offered the option to lease their units.

Allegro follows Highland Park as another major condo project in Columbia Heights that is converting to apartments due to slowing sales.

Sweet! As if traffic won't bad enough with the target, now we get the constant moving in and out of apartments at the end of the month!

Allegro is the perfect example of how not to develop an area.

I feel for the people on Newton where the loading dock to the apartments will be going in. :(

That's just because the useless vertical orange things are so freakin' ugly.
